Owner Complaints (2)
DRIVERS POWER SEAT RECLINES ON IT'S OWN EVERY TIME I TURN OFF THE CAR. IT IS NOT BECAUSE I HIT IT WITH MY LEG. IT DOES NOT DO IT UNTIL I TURN OFF THE CAR, EXIT THE CAR, AND CLOSE THE DOOR. THEN I CAN WATCH THE SEAT RECLINE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS MY DAUGHTER WAS IN A CHILD SEAT BEIND THE DRIVER, AND THE REC LINING SEAT CRUSHED HER LEG CAUSING SEVERE BRUISING AND MUCH PAIN. HONDA CLAIMS THEY NEVER HEARD OF THIS, BUT I FIND REFERENCES TO IT ON WWW.
199 HONDA ACCORD - THE WELD ON THE RIGHT BRACKET ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT FAILED CAUSING THE SEAT TO RECLINE BACKWARDS UNEXPECTEDLY. I AM ONLY 195 POUNDS AND HAVE NEVER HAD A SEAT FAIL IN ANY VEHICLE I'VE EVER OWNED. THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A RECALL ITEM. THE SEAT FAILURE RESULTED IN ME JERKING THE STEERING WHEEL AND TEMPORARILY LOOSING CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE. THOUGH I WASN'T HURT IT COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE HAD THERE BEEN ANOTHER VEHICLE IN THE LANE I VEERED INTO. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE FIXED AT NOT COST TO THE OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES. *AK
